We really need a pro-sex lobby, but there’s no money in that.

shudder I’m autistic and fandoms used to be my happy place… I used to go to cons, make so many friends online, just shoot the shit, read whatever, wrote whatever… I miss those days. I had to leave fandom spaces and tumblr entirely as of 2 or 3 years ago because of how nauseatingly toxic most fandoms are these days. I miss the days of dead dove and Don’t Like Don’t Read being respected.

people seem to have forgotten what the findings of all that complaining about video games and violence from the 90s and 2000s actually were (spoilers, media doesn’t have that direct 1 to 1 influence like that)

and there’s also that wonderful kurt vonnegut quote about the effect of art on the vietnam war that feels relevant here too…

I wish I could give you a 100 upvotes. This is very true and twitter has only made it worse.
